Tethys conference: Internationalization of Tertiary Education in MENA in the COVID-19 Context

Its aim was to explore the way forward for MENA, including internationalization in a post-COVID-19 world, issues of fragility  contexts, and adapting to the new normal.

To this end, the Center for Mediterranean Integration (CMI)/ World Bank recently published the report “Internationalization of Tertiary Education in MENA” which you may find below. The report details the benefits of internationalization, assesses the current state of internationalization of tertiary education institutions across MENA, and provides some policy recommendations for both government and educational institutions going forward.
